Alfalfa ingestion, especially of the seeds, has been associated with various deleterious effects. Alfalfa seeds and fresh sprouts can be contaminated with bacteria such as s. Enterica and e. Coli. The fda issued an advisory indicating that children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems should avoid eating alfalfa sprouts. In general, ingestion of dried alfalfa preparations does not cause serious side effects in healthy adults.
